Buzz Bee Tek 3 repair

HAI GUYS!

Alright, like everyone, I had a useless blaster lying around, my tek 3, after attempting an AR removal it didn't work any more (my first mod ^_^) so I just left it lying around, but now, since I actually had some materials, I thought I'd fix it (or at least attempt to) and it worked.

Materials -
Hot glue
Epoxy
20mm Conduit
16mm Conduit
Lube (Vaseline)
Keyring

Tools -
Drill/Dremel
Pipe cutters/hack saw/ whatever you use
Hot glue gun
Sand paper


Before




Take these out, they're useless now




So now make the air hole on bigger, I just drilled straight through and sanded it




Cut 5cm of 20mm conduit and epoxied it on, then I cut 7.5cm of 16mm conduit, nested it in there and epoxied and hot glued the lip of the 20mm counduit




With the plunger and rod, I added e-tape and another O-ring, stretched the spring , replaced the handle with a keyring and lubed it up with Vaseline, this gave a 100% seal




It won't shoot a standard sized dart but it shoots a minimized one I had, its got a hot glue tip and a straw with hot glue in the rear



New internals



Okay, with paint I used the following citadels paints; Chaos Black, Primer; Dark Angel Green, Liche Purple and Boltgun Metal for the body; Enchanted Blue for detail and Nauseating Blue for the trigger

After



Now it shoots 7.5m with the minimized stream line, but it works, thats all that matters.

Yay ^_^ first write up complete

Evo out >.>

Such a nice MF-ing paintjob for such a tiny blaster. Great work here.
Do you collect figures from WH or WH40k ? I'm just guessing cos you have a lot of the paints for the hobby

I did collect WH40k but it just got too expensive but I scabbed the paint off a family member, I also build A LOT of gundam

Ahh I see. But Gundam ? NOICE. I was going to get into Gundam, but instead got into Nerf.

Ordering from the UK is half the price Too bad you can only order from Wayland now, due to the trade embargo. I've found a place in the US that will send me stuff at about the same price as Maelstrom would.

Nice work on the Tek 3. Great write up too!
